<h1>Looking at a report's filter</h1>
<p>A filter is made up of one or more conditions. A condition defines a 
 set of criteria against which the report's data is retrieved from your 
 data warehouse and displayed on the report. </p>
<p>The report designer may have already applied one or more conditions 
 to the report filter of a report. You can see the conditions applied to 
 the report. For example, in the report below, a report designer created 
 a filtering condition that restricted results to only the data for the 
 Southeast region.</p>
